I obviously don't disagree. I don't think it's weird to report on peaceful protests that are undemocratically banned; I think it's weird to separately report on the police doing normal police shit that happens when someone gets arrested.

"84 year old priest has house searched by police" is newsworthy if the priest didn't do anything illegal. It's not newsworthy if they did.

"Some people did something illegal which should not be illegal" is newsworthy, but that's not the content of the article.

It's reporting that's just trying to play on the emotions of the readers.
